Most women know her

Most women know another woman just like this girl. Eventually, we avoid them. Take a look around. Does this woman have any girl friends? How does her family react to her? Does she bitch about how they have slighted her too?

We know the type. We avoid her. And, as they age, they get worse. They never seem to get over the fact that the world doesn't revolve around them. I know a woman in her 60s that still behaves this way, unfortunately I have to work around her from time to time. We all avoid her like she has the plague. She is the most miserable person I have ever met.

Stick around if you want dude, but your life is gonna be hell.

Good list, but you missed the State with the worst Senators, Oklahoma. (Tom Coburn and James Inhofe.)

Oklahoma also has a few other achievements such as all 77 counties going to McCain/Palin; a state that just turned its House and Senate completely over to the Republicans.

What else does Oklahoma have? The most women in prison. The most per capita in prison. One of the lowest median incomes. Lots of churches. Huge aluminum faux Jesus crosses.

A idiot legislator who just decided that one of the priorities for the State was to put the Ten Commandments at the State Capitol.

Yeah, great place here. This is what Sarah Palin would call 'real America.'

Hand Slap

Wonder who's hand is really going to get slapped here? Rumor is that inside Obama's velvet glove there is a steel fist.

Duck, Boehner, duck.

Republican Answers for everything

The Republican answers for everything:

Tax cuts, war, tax cuts, corporate welfare, hatred of minorities, tax cuts, loud mouth radio hate mongers, tax cuts, rich fat white men, tax cuts, faux Christianity, tax cuts, imbecile female politicians, tax cuts, FAUX News, tax cuts, arrogant jerks, tax cuts, nuke the Muslims, tax cuts.

Did I miss anything? Did I mention tax cuts?

Union busting,again. The NALC (National Association of Letter Carriers) will lose members. The APWU (American Postal Workers Union) will lose members. Good jobs go away, great timing Postmaster General!

Ronald Ray-gun never goes dies.

The Service in Postal Service does.

What is wrong with the Republican mentality

Dick Armey just displayed the typical condescending manner of so many Republicans. His whole comments about redistribution of wealth was just pathetic. What is his sorry excuse for robbing the poor and redistribution of the wealth to the rich when the Republicans were in total control?

Joan, you did good. If that jerk is married I hope his wife gives him hell. But, then, like most of these Republican smucks they don't deal with women with guts, they can't bully them.

I actually think Chris Matthews was a little surprised at Armey's statements. He may not have known Armey was such an obvious jerk.

Okies

Oklahoma is a bit strange, as far as looking at the demographics. On the surface, it looks like there could be a bit of Democratic possibility, but this is really hard core red Republican land.

Yes, we have one Congressman, a Democratic governor, Lieut. Gov, AG, Labor Commissioner and a few other positions. But most of us liberals believe unless things change we are in deep crap. Our State House and Senate are now totally controlled by Republicans, it is just a matter of time on the other positions.

Part of Southeastern Oklahoma is known as "Little Dixie" because that is where some of the Confederate soldiers settled after the war. Although it is now changing, that area remains Democratic to this day. Until just a few years ago, a old time Democratic State Senator (who was totally corrupt) kept sending money to them-- and himself-- in that part of the state. He had so much control, story was, if you were broke and need a refrigerator, you called his office.

So, when the rest of the State turned red with Reagan, "Little Dixie" stayed Democratic, but in essentially in name only. From there is where we have our very DINO Congressman. He voted for the stimulus package, but with grave reservations. He never backed Obama, he wanted to be re-elected in Little Dixie.

Our governor is so middle of the road, very little of what he does can be called 'Democratic.' In most states he would be a Republican.

This state has become very hard core Republican, and frankly, I would love to see this place in my rear view mirror. Due to my very ill mother, I cannot leave, but you better believe when she is gone, so am I. Frankly, although there are some wonderful liberals here, and some fantastic people who worked their hearts out for Democratic causes, I don't see any hope for this state turning blue unless the people are starving. They are brainwashed by the newspapers, talk radio and hatred for minorities. I know Democrats in this state that refused to vote for Obama. Of course, they would not have voted for Hillary and they did not vote for Kerry or Gore.

This state should be Democratic, the people- especially in rural areas-are below average income to poor, undereducated and struggling. But oil & gas, religion, bigotry and love of guns trumps all.

Joan, Joan, Joan

Gee, I bet you never knew Dick Armey had the hots for you!

And as for the second video, I was just proud. Proud. Proud.

The Republican Male

The Republican male role model: Dick Armey. He looks, acts, talks and is just like the rest of them. An absolute boor and womanizing pig.

Oh, but he probably would tell you he is just such a Christian!
